임원의 재무전문성이 퇴직연금 적립률에 미치는 영향

[Purpose] This study examines the impact of executives’ financial expertise on the funding level of defined benefit pension plans. On one hand, if executives with high financial expertise prefer to utilize available cash for more efficient investment options rather than locking it up in pension contributions, a negative relationship is expected. On the other hand, if executives with high financial expertise aim to increase the current funding level to alleviate future cash constraints or are concerned about negative evaluations in the capital market, a positive relationship is expected. The empirical analysis seeks to determine whether executives’ financial expertise lowers or raises the pension funding level. [Methodology] The sample for analysis consists of companies listed on the KOSPI and KOSDAQ from 2012 to 2022 that have adopted a defined benefit pension plan. Although the pension system was implemented in 2005, the initial period is excluded due to the low adoption rate of pension plans and the low funding ratio of defined benefit assets at the beginning of the system’s implementation. Executives’ financial expertise is measured by executives with keywords in their past careers such as finance, accounting, treasury, or CFO, and the pension funding level is measured by the ratio of pension assets to pension liabilities. [Findings] The empirical analysis shows that the higher the proportion of executives with financial expertise, the lower the pension funding level. This result can be interpreted as companies with executives having high financial expertise maintaining a lower funding level due to the high opportunity cost of investing available cash in pension contributions. Additionally, we find that the negative relationship between executives’ financial expertise and the pension funding level is driven by the subsample with a high funding level. [Implications] The results of this study provide evidence that for the pension system to act as a means of securing workers’ retirement income, an improvement in the return on pension assets is necessary.

Macro topology structure and evolution of Chinese Public Funds’ Co-holding Network

The behavior of institutional investors such as public offering funds and investor networks play an important role in information transmission and risk contagion in the capital market. Less attention has been paid to the macro topological structure characteristics and the fund group behavior of the co-holding network indirectly formed by the common holding among funds. Based on the complex network analysis method, this paper firstly uses three methods to define the co-holding behavior of funds and construct the co-holding networks between large funds and small funds and between large funds, and then conducts a comparative study on the Macro topology structure and evolution characteristics of the Chinese Public Funds’ Co-holding network. The results show that: (1) Although the three networks are large sparse networks, the co-holding behavior among funds still widely exists; (2) Both networks have the characteristics of small-world and scale-free, but there are significant differences in the degree of specificity; (3)There are significant differences in the evolution of “small-world and scale-free” between the three networks; (4) When the large funds and small funds are considered comprehensively, the “small world” and “scale-free” of the fund co-holding network and the stock market show a relationship of mutual influence and mutual restriction.This study provides a reference for understanding the influence of mutual shareholding among funds, and for regulators to manage stock market risk and institutional investor governance.

Optimal Reinsurance and Derivative-Based Investment Decisions for Insurers with Mean-Variance Preference

In our study, we investigate reinsurance issues and optimal investment related to derivatives trading for a mean-variance insurer, employing game theory. Our primary objective is to identify strategies that are time-consistent. In particular, the insurer has the flexibility to purchase insurance in proportion to its needs, explore new business, and engage in capital market investments. This is under the assumption that insurance companies’surplus capital adheres to the classical Cramér-Lundberg model. The capital market is made up of risk-free bonds, equities, and derivatives, with pricing dependent on the underlying stock’s basic price and volatility. To obtain the most profitable expressions and functions for the associated investment strategies and time guarantees, we solve a system of expanded Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equations. In addition, we delve into scenarios involving optimal investment and reinsurance issues with no derivatives trading. In the end, we present a few numerical instances to display our findings, demonstrating that the efficient frontier in the case of derivative trading surpasses that in scenarios where derivative trading is absent.

Determinants of Financial Efficiency and Performance in Big-Cap Chain Hotels

Chain hotels with $1 billion in market capitalization not only contribute to employment creation and indirectly become a driving force in the regeneration of local economies but also play an essential role in recovering local economies with their high revenue per available room (RevPAR) values.

Therefore, the aim of this paper is to determine the financial factors that are affecting the RevPAR (RPR), their role in the industry, and the validity of the agency cost theory of nine chain hotels that have at least $1 billion in market capital listed in U.S. stock markets over the period 2013–2022.

Evolving Efficiency of Cryptocurrency Market: Evidence from Leading Cryptocurrencies

The article investigated the efficiency of the cryptocurrency market, with a focus on Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), and Binance Coin (BNB-USD), based on their substantial market capitalization. For this purpose, we observed the daily closing prices spanning from January 2018 to December 2023 and employed a set of robust tests, including the generalized spectral test, automatic portmanteau test, and automatic variance ratio test. The findings of the study reveal a random pattern in price fluctuations, indicating weak form efficiency. Furthermore, we adopted the rolling window approach to investigate whether market efficiency is dynamic or static over time. The empirical result illustrated that the crypto market efficiency remains static over time, except for USDT. In conclusion, the overall empirical results support the notion of the random walk hypothesis, indicating that past price movements offer no predictive insight into future prices. These findings have significant implications for investors, emphasizing the lack of predictive insight from past price movements. Policymakers are urged to establish a robust framework for market integrity and reliable price discovery.
